Council approves special-use permit for guest house at Sunlight Drive; staff clarifies CO sequencing
Summary
Council approved a special-use permit for an accessory guest house at 31244 Sunlight Drive, after staff explained that a primary residence and its certificate of occupancy must be in place before the accessory dwelling receives final occupancy.
Council approved a special-use permit allowing a guest house at 31244 Sunlight Drive and accepted staff’s clarification about permit sequencing.
Staff reminded council that accessory structures are not authorized without a primary residence and that, while both applications can be submitted concurrently, the certificate of occupancy for the primary dwelling is required before the accessory unit receives its CO. Council moved and approved the permit as drafted so the applicant could move forward without delay.
Why it matters: The approval enables the property owner to proceed with permitting while protecting the city’s sequencing requirement that a primary residence be established before a secondary dwelling is occupied.
What's next: Applicant to complete building-permit submissions and inspections; staff to confirm CO and meter sequencing.
